Manufacturer Note

Speck recommends cleaning your case before you put it on your MacBook and then once a month thereafter to avoid any build-up of dust or dirt. Simply wipe it with a soft, clean cloth or rinse with warm, soapy water. Before re-applying the case, make sure it’s completely dry—and also wipe down your Mac to remove any dust or particles.

I've used this case since the first day that I bought my macbook which was almost a year from now. I've had no problems with it, and I thought that everything was perfect...until about 5 days ago I decided to take off the cover to see if there was any dust. I was expecting to find dust, NOT mold! These Speck cases are not compatible with the aluminum on Mac's. There are permanent markings and scribbled looking engravings from....I don't even know what, but it was definitely not from me. I looks like some type of acid reaction? There were also white spots all over (top and bottom), from the mold. I did some research and found that another person had the same problem as I have using the Speck Case. I thought that paying the $50 and putting this case on my computer would keep it from getting permanent markings and damage, but oh boy was I wrong! Now I have markings all over, and I'm super upset. Apple should not sell a product that is not compatible with their own. I would recommend getting just a traditional bag or pouch with a zip so your Mac can breathe, instead of buying this case. It's way cheaper and safer for your laptop. Who knows, maybe I am the only one experiencing this...but I know for sure that I'm not using my Speck case again!

It all started with the snap on portions on the bottom left and right, follow by the corners
The top cover is still working and has protected me from TSA's scratches.

Speck case for 5 years

I have only purchased one case (satin) when I first purchased my macbook pro 5 years ago. I am somewhat in the middle with my feelings in regards to my purchase of the speck case. Its relatively inexpensive and does have a sense of style and sleekness. Some of the grips did snap a year and half into having the case, however the other grips compensated well for the ones that broke off so I did not feel the need to purchase a new one. However, I brought my laptop everywhere and did not take the most optimal care of my laptop and both the case and laptop are going pretty strong. A downside to owning this product is the molding inside of the case! I do not know how to remove the stains, but I have heard there are ways to remove it.

I don't have to worry about my computer being protected while using this case. It is a great case, except they don't last as long as I would like. I am on my second case and it just broke. Mine have lasted an average of about 8 months. The problem is the grips for bottom-front of the computer can't handle much strain. Other than that, I enjoy this case and its protection.

After a few months of owning this case, and one test drop, I have come to the conclusion that this is NOT a durable case. I took it off for cleaning my mac, and guess what? The plastic buds that hold the case onto the mac snaps, and falls off. All corners! The middle of the case has a huge crack. The case makes the mac super heavy. And when I took it off, there was too much dust, literally stuck to the Mac. And also, this case makes the Mac overheat countlessly whenever I hold it on my lap. It is blisteringly hot to the touch. As soon as I took the case off, my battery performed normally, No more warnings about the battery overheating. Do NOT get this product!

Assuming the inside of the case and the shell of your macbook are free of dirt when you install the case, it will not scratch your computer. Just use the microfibre cloth that came with your macbook to wipe of the outside of your computer and the inside of the case prior to installation.
